How to text for VLX loaded?

Anonymous — Fri, 21 Jan 2000 03:01:05 GMT

This maybe simple but for some reason it is eluding me.
I am trying to test to see if a vlx file is loaded with this.

(IF (NOT (MEMBER "test.vlx" (vlx))) (load "text.vlx"))

This is a modified version of what I use for a couple arx files I have but
the VLX returns an error. I probable could just test for a function but I
wanted to see how to text a vlx.

Thanks.

That's because there is no VLX function. VLISP does have a function that can
detect loaded seperate name-space VLX files (VL-VLX-LOADED-P) but that's
about it. Perhaps you can do something with the ATOMS-FAMILY function.

Download a copy of the latest AcadX from my web site.

It has a method called GetLoadedLispApps, which returns
a list of loaded .lsp/.fas/.vlx/.mnl files for each document.

Use (vl-list-loaded-vlx) instead of (vlx)

I'm afraid this only works for separate-namespace VLX files.

Oops - I belive that I've never build other ones ... The question is : Why it dosen't work for the other ones ??

Not sure, other than perhaps because they're the only
kind that are 'unloadable'.
